dren enrolled, slight increase in school
attendance and an increase in the cost
of maintaining schools. Yet it appears
that not more than seventy-five per
cent of children of school age Give to
twenty are enrolled in the public
schools, and that only about siXty-five
per cent of those enrolled are regularly
in school. The wages of school
teachers average lower in Vermont
than in any northern state, being 1922
per week to female teachers and SS.45
to male teachers. The 100000 an
nually expended for the support of the
public schools falls far short of repre-
senting the amount of money paid each
year for educational purposes by the
people of Vermont. TO this amount
should be added at least $500, 900 ex-
pended for instruction by students in
the various academies, colleges and
private schools, making an aggregate
expenditure of 81 100000 for education
in Vermont each year. The money
expended for the public schools is
raised as follows: Town tax, about
$4,000 annually; district tax, about
$3.50, 900; and the balance, about $780,
600, is received from rents of lands,
from the income on United States de-
post money and in interest on the
Huntington fund. The conclusions
deduced from the facts and figures by
the writer were given in the WATCH
MAN of last week. He has this to say
of the necessity for a change in our
educational system:
The greatest obstacle to the improvement
of the public schools of Vermont is the
district system, and in order to give better
grade of schools to the rural communities
there must be radical remodelng of the
school system of the state The changed
condition of the population in the rural
districts by western emigration of the old
Puritan stock and the immigration of for
eigners from Canada and other countries
has left the country districts at the mercy
of local management, which has starved out
the once fiourishing district school. To re-
vive it under its old forms and conditions
is out of the question. The friends of educa-
ton are generally united in the opinion
that the district system must go and that
the town system must take its place. The
subject of the adoption of the town system
of schools has been before the people of the
state for over twenty years. The law allow
ing towns to abolish the district and adopt
the town system of schools has been on the
statute-book for a decade, but in order to
effect the needed improvements in the public
schools the town system must be adopted
on the part of the state. Such a bill came
within a few votes of passing in the last
house of representatives The results of
the operation of the town system in the
towns adopting it have been very salts
factory. The states of Massachusetts, and
New Hampshire have recently adopted the
town system for all the towns. Vermont
should follow her sister states in this direc-
ton in 1888.

Vermont Schools.

The communication of Captain G. S.
Forbes on the educational system of
the state, published in the Boston
Journal of October 18th, and to which
reference was made in this paper last
week, contains facts and figures of
much value. There are in this state
in round numbers $500 district schools,
forty-two graded or high schools,
twenty-five academies, three colleges,
three normal schools and 225 private
schools. The value of school property
is at least S2,700,000 and the various
schools have seating capacity for
$1,000 scholars. Since 1860 the acad-
emies have decreased from sixty-nine
to twenty-five and school districts
about 500, while there are over 400
which have less than dozen scholars
each. The forty-two graded schools
have an aggregate enrolment of some
$4,000 scholars and annually graduate
nearly 200 students from their high
school departments. The aggregate
number of students in the academies is
about 3 200, The total amount of their
endowment funds approximates $780,
600. About 500 students from other
states attend Vermont academies. The
town system of schools prevails in
thirty towns, as follows: Burlington,
Bolton, Brighton, Brunswick, Canaan
Dover, Eden, Goshen, Grand Isle,
Hinesburgh, Hubbardton, Mount Tabor,
Newark, Norton, Richmond, Randolph
Rockingham, Rutland, Springfield,
South Hero, Sunderland, Somerset
Stamford, Starksboro, Sheffield, Waits.
field, Warren, Westminster, Woodford
Wardsboro. The three normal schools
have about 500 students annually anG
receive state aid to the amount Of
$4,000. OF the 1920 teachers in The
public schools this year 5S7 are norma
school graduates.
The educational statistics of the state
gathered from official sources, for tire,
decades, show decrease in humble
of districts and schools, an increase il
school population and number of chill
